Eisner really knew how to promote bad ideas.

He was such a tryhard when it came to teens that I'm surprised he found any success with them.

You know funny enough he actually had a hand in getting Bojack Horseman off the ground.

I've never even heard of Splash before and that Splash Mountain's iconic name only came to be from Eisner being Eisner amuses me endlessly.
What a well-timed video, considering last I saw the Disney thread's currently talking about Song of the South (except there it's in relation to Disney's streaming service and not Splash Mountain or Tales of the Okefenokee.) I've never really looked into the movie much or Joel Chandler Harris's legacy, so a lot of the stuff in the video's new to me and drawing a conclusion on it all seems... kinda complex. There's a lot more to it than just saying it's Fair for Its Day and even back then it seems like Harris' stories were considered to be cultural appropriation by some.
Kevin didn't really talk about this in the video, but was Tales of the Okefenokee ever put under fire for anything? (Other than by the carrots.)
Some of the scrapped plantation elements just seem the littlest bit yikes for something that ran up until the 80s, to say nothing of its successor explicitly being a plantation up until 2008.
Good thing this came out way before Splash Mountain, or it would be accused of plagiarism. Given how sue happy Eisner was, I wouldn't put it passed him.
As you said, I think it got away with it more because of it being in the South where if it was anywhere else it would have been more scrutinized. On the other hand, we still have the Haunted Mansion today as a plantation style house.

Season 2 Finale: The Failure of Hong Kong Disneyland
Dakini!
Someone can probably answer this, but is there any reason the foreign parks use the Disneyland moniker rather than Disneyworld?

He's only released a trailer so far, but apparently Kevin's going to be doing a six part series on the life and works of Jim Henson.

The final segment of the Jim Henson retrospective series.
Hoo boy. That one hurt.
This is going to be so much fun.
Bumrushing through all of his vids it's interesting how he expanded his format. Although what ever happened to his planned VR park?

DefunctTV: Dragon Tales
Interesting backstory for the show. Also, that first painting looks like a meme edit. Way to be 20 years ahead of the curve.

If no other episode does I think this one is a really good episode of demonstrating Defunctland's penchant for dry snarky humor. I didn't catch it on the first watch but in hindsight his offhand comment about a "quickly built World's Fair Hotel" (directed at the site of one of the first known serial killers in the country) was one of his funniest jokes.![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
In the meantime, here's an... oddly-timed episode of DefunctTV we'll say, discussing the early days of Disney channel and particularly reminiscing on Welcome to Pooh Corner. It's noted as being most infamous for the special "Too Smart for Strangers" which, well, we have a trope named after it for a reason.

I remember the only actual odd thing about the "Too Smart For Strangers" special, was the song with Piglet mentioning running off to tell his mom and dad. And I'm just thinking, "Piglet doesn't have a mom and dad..."
Yes, that was the only weird moment to me.
With all the memes about women choosing a bear over a man, Hollywood might wanna get on an 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon' adaptation

Piglet meant Roo or Owl I imagine
New theme music also a box
This episode focuses on the 1st Ghostbusters. Not the movies. The Tv show that was aired in the 70s about two bumbling guys and their pet gorilla that later got a cartoon sequel in the 80s at the same as the Ghostbusters cartoon based on the movies.
I'd like to see one on Hanna-Barbera Land (yes, H-B had it's own theme park). If we're sticking to Disney, ones on Communicore and Horizons would be good.
